    Ox is the one most well equipped to answer this, but just the fact that he has ZERO experience in the public sector, no idea at all how anything at all works-- the courts, the economy, the government, civil interaction with others, meanwhile playing dumb at his white supremacist connections whom he also winks at. He's an overt bigot, lacking the critical thinking skills to conceptualize complex problems such as immigration and terrorism, and blending them into a big dumb goop of racist generalizations in his brain and farting its noxious gas out of his mouth into a microphone. On top of all his faults, he has zero desire to change, learn, or get better. He is the ultimate narcissist and thinks he's perfect the way he is. He literally said,(at his nomination- the crowning moment of his candidacy, not during some hot-mic gaffe) "nobody knows the system better than me... and I'm the only one who can fix it." WTF? What would he actually do once in office? Anything? Oh-- he actually has been asking why we don't actually use nukes. So, no, this narcissistic scumbag won't get anywhere near the oval office if I have my way. Hillary's basically nobody's first choice, but she's the choice I'm making in order to keep Trump out of actual power.

      This guy shares my main theory about how in the hell Trump could rise to become the Republican nominee:



      I have a family member whose husband is easily within the top 1% of income earners, who by all means has succeeded attaining the American dream. Yet by her facebook feed you would swear she believes anything she reads on the internet. She gives no thought to checking how reliable a news source is, as long as it is exposing Hillary and Obama for every murder and atrocity they are responsible for. It really is embarrassing. I guess it is some comfort that she only gets one or two likes on her political rants.

      When there is a constant attack on mainstream journalism for 20+ years, the base internalizes it. And then every mainstream journalist is suspect, and any alternative source that aligns with their opinion becomes credible. Of course the media has a bias. But so does everyone else. At least within mainstream media there is a general adherence to a professional code of conduct, despite the fact that they've damaged themselves with numerous ethical violations.
      "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

If someone can't see that he is worse than Clinton, there's not much that will sway opinion. Along with what SMR said, he winked at Russia to perform espionage and claimed that the military would follow his advice to break international conventions for torture. And that is on top of his regular demagoguery, misogyny, and racism. He and anyone else can claim his off the cuff speeches are sarcasm, but when you are running for the US presidency, words are very significant. Presidential speeches move world markets and affect international relations. You can believe everything bad that has been said about Hillary, but she still has a track record of at least acting the part. She may be satan, but she will command at least some international respect.

        Hillary/Satan 2016!!!
        Clinton is a horrible candidate and she is still light years better than Trump. Quite possibly the most dangerous, least prepared, most unstable major candidate in US history.

          Why do his supporters call him Mr. Trump. That's just stoopid.

          Write in Mitt!!!
          Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

          For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

          Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

            Trump is essentially 'unAmerican"

            His threats of violence, like his suggestion that minorities are not real citizens, are a violation of the country’s most sacred ideals

              Trump already told a Pennsylvania audience that the only way he can lose is if the election is rigged and there is cheating. As his poll numbers continue to drop expect him to shift over into full-blown whiny victim mode. What pisses me off about this is that it means he's growing the number of people who are going to start to think we need to trash free elections and turn it over to a strongman dictator. Hey, if you agree with him, it would be good thing right?

                  That's what they called him on the Apprentice. I assume that's where most that vote for him know him from. I'm not sure where the Hillary supporters know her from, dishonesty conventions?

                    From Trump tweet:

                    It is not "freedom of the press" when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!
                    Bloody hell. Yes it is, you idiot.

                        If you are dumb enough to believe what he is talking about constitutes libel, then you have found your candidate.

                          Yes it is. If it's really libel, which, 99.9999999% of what Trump is complaining about wouldn't meet the standard, it's still only a civil matter. What Trump really means is that it should be a crime for someone to ever say anything critical or negative about him. Everything he says has some element of trying to carve away at our Constitutional rights and civil liberties.

                            Libel is not protected by the First Amendment.
